Solution

The correct option is A 1966
After the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947, the princely states were reorganised to form states in India. In 1956, Punjab was reorganised to include the principality of Malwa. In 1966, Punjab was divided into Haryana and Punjab. Some of the regions were given to Himachal Pradesh as well.
